Changes to Halo 5 Armor
Personally, I have high hopes for Halo 5. The changes 343i are making based on feedback from the beta are really good. That said, there are still things I feel need some work.
To be more specific, the armor designs could benefit from some tweaking. One of the biggest problems with the Halo 4 and 5 armor designs is that they are unnecessarily complex. There are a ludicrous number of ridges, edges, etc. all over them. This puts unneeded strain on the eyes as they try to take in all the intricate details. Just to save my eyes from this, I ran Nightfall or Mark VI almost exclusively during the Halo 5 beta.
The other problem that this intricacy creates is an issue with customization. In Halo 4, all too often I wouldn't use certain pieces of armor purely because they clashed aesthetically with most of the other armors. With the simplified customization of the Halo 5 beta, this problem only seemed to worsen. I only mixed and matched armors once for about one day of the beta.
So, what can be done? Well, for starters, the armor needs to simplified. Keep them recognizable, but simplify them. The Athlon armor is a step in the right direction, blending the style of 343i with the simplified designs of Bungie.

They need to bring back the FOTUS XD

I just want black undersuits and to be able to have master chiefs helmet

2 RepliesI agree, they have too much stuff going on, on them. I think one thing that could make it better would be to bring back black under suits. If you compare the WIP picture to an ingame picture they're a lot cleaner than the ingame ones. http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Bz3vzZeC7ZI/maxresdefault.jpg

2 RepliesIn halo 4 I mainly used prefect and venator armour.

2 RepliesI almost agree. Some armor can be to flashy but thats the point. Spartans are suppost to be "unstoppable awesome tanks" but some of the armor went to far. Athlon is probably the most efficient for sprint and new abilities but on the battlefield id want as much armor on as I could get.

Yes! Finally someone gets it! None of the armor pieces go together with eachother! (In halo 4 &5) It just seems so damn weird!

1 ReplyWell they gotta make changes to the armor because of the different spartan programs. If they all looked the same you wouldn't be able to tell the spartan 4 from spartan II

15 RepliesI never really mixed and matched armor, since I love always having a matching set. As long as I have my Helioskrill armor, I'm fine.

6 RepliesI to look forward to Halo 5 release, the beta was a great advert. Personally I have no issue with the complexity of Halo 4/5 armour. Helioskrill looked awesome for example. My personal gripe was the fact it was pristine. I understand the whole Halo 4 MP took place on Infinity, however I preferred the battle worn more rugged style of Reach and less shiny look in Halo CE/2/3. I do think there should be more customisability, like in Halo Reach. I want to be able to swap out different sets for each shoulder, legs, attachments on the helmets etc. I want them to keep the skins from Halo 4 as well, this added an extra level of customisation which I liked. Either way from Halo 5 beta I expect really good things. Ignore the 343 haters as if the campaign is as good as Halo 4's plus the MP we got to play on the H5 beta, game of the year 2015! [spoiler]MCC had a bad launch, nothing wrong functionality wise with Halo 4 whatsoever. I have faith 343 will not make the same mistake they did with MCC for Halo 5.[/spoiler]
